Legaci may sounds strange to you but not anymore as they will hit the road together with Justin Bieber's "My World Tour" which start this Wednesday June 23. Yup, Scott Braun hired them as Mr. Bieber backup-singers which means onstage they live between burst of spotlight and their camera time comes in blink and you'll missed flashes. Keep an eye of them always. Don't blink.
Legaci's members are Chris Abad 28, Delfin Lazaro 28, Micah Tolentino 30, and Dominic Manuel 28, where from San Francisco Bay Area has been blending their four part melody since they were in high school influenced mainly on Boyz II Men and Shai. They've been finger-snapping in Saturday Night Live, The View, Ellen DeGeneres and Today Show. They performed on stage on a blowout Wango-Tango by KIIS-FM in Los Angeles.
But success never came easy for them.
Same as any other striving new artist it is their dream to make it in the US mainstream and get noticed by major labels. The group tried the lame traditional route and performed in college campuses, clubs and got same lame results. In mid 2000's they released their own albums a mixed of their own compositions and few cover songs. They crank it up a notch by auditioning television talent shows like American Idol, America Got Talent and MTV's Top Pop Group, but to no avail.
They have one option left and that was YouTube, exactly same as their new boss did. By 2007 they started posting their group performance of any kind but mostly they cover songs of known artist.
Their views on Youtube rose dramatically same as their subscribers. Until one day, they decided to cover insanely famous screaming young teens fave hit song called "Baby" by teenage sensation Justin Beiber. In less than 24 hours after it went live on Youtube they got a call, a call that will surely change their life. It was a call from Scott Braun, the manager of Mr. Bieber.
The next thing they know they joined Justin Bieber live performance on MTV.
Asian-American maybe seen as foreign to mainstream America but Legaci had just joined the fleet of pinoys who set their feet in the door in the likes of Allan Pineda aka Apl.de.ap of Black Eyed Peas, Arnel Pineda vocalist of Journey, aspiring pint-sized pop sensation Charice and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger (pinoy dad).
Best of luck guys!

Hi Dominic: I know this is a very very long shot, but I'm wondering if you or the other Legaci singers remember me? I was at the soundcheck yesterday in New Jersey, with my daughter, who is very shy. I was a tall guy, wearing a baseball cap. We then saw you guys in the elevator after the soundcheck and you said you remembered me and that you had actually waved at me during the soundcheck. You guys are terrific and we really enjoyed the concert! Well, where is all this leading to: I love my daughter and son's so very very much, that I want to ask you guys a HUGE favor. My daughters Bat Mitzvah is going to be this December and I was wondering if you could ask Justin Bieber if he would like to come to my daughters Bat Mitzvah party and of course all the Legaci Singers. This is a very special time in my daughters life and it would mean so much to her. We live in New Jersey in a nice house and we could have you stay with us.You all would have a great time. Great food, music and dancing! Were having 200 kids and 200 adults at the party. By the way it's also my sons Bar Mitzvah, this is what is called a double Simcha, in the jewish religion.Anyways, would you be able to ask the Legaci Singers and also at least show this email to Justin Bieber? Tell Justin that I was the guy that asked the band to play something from the Rolling Stones and they played Satisfaction.It would also probably be great public relations for everyone.
Thanks a Lot!!
